Weatherhead dean search committee formed

A search advisory committee has been appointed to help find a new permanent dean for the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.
The committee is made up of eight Weatherhead professors; two students; a board member; Grover Cleve Gilmore, dean of Cases Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences; Cases chief financial and administrative officer Hossein Sadid; and James Treleaven, a Case graduate and president of DeVry University.
The group will focus on internal candidates for the deans position, much like the committees that are searching for deans of the engineering school and the College of Arts and Sciences. Leadership, administration, national and international profile, and a commitment to diversity, fundraising and alumni activities are among the attributes the committee will consider when recommending a new dean.
Weatherhead is looking for its fifth dean in eight years. Myron Roomkin stepped down this summer after less than two years on the job.
